What's New in VirtualBuddy 2.2 Beta 1
⚠️ Please Read This First ⚠️
Due to issues with the macOS 27 SDK, this build may crash on launch when running on macOS versions earlier than 26.5. Users with host Macs running macOS earlier than 26.5 should not install this build.
Skip Setup Assistant
When configuring a new virtual machine, you can now set up a macOS user account that will be automatically created on first boot, skipping the entire macOS Setup Assistant process.
You can also configure the virtual machine to automatically log in with the configured user account and enable SSH for remote login.
This feature requires macOS 27 on both the host and guest.
Other Changes & Improvements
- You can now copy the configuration from an existing virtual machine when configuring a new one.
- The virtual machine configuration interface now uses the selected restore image to show which features are supported by the guest and host.
- Custom restore images now use best-effort feature detection so configuration options are enabled or disabled more accurately.
- The maximum boot disk image size has been increased to 8 TB.
- Greater adoption of Liquid Glass throughout the interface.
- Improves the error message shown when a virtual machine fails to boot because the maximum number of simultaneous virtual machines has been reached.
- Fixes an issue that could occur when attempting to boot a virtual machine that uses the same MAC address as another virtual machine. (by @apfritts)
- Mac virtual machines now use cached disk mode for improved reliability. (by @MarvinDontPanic)
